Barbara Textured Women's Pullover
This pullover has elegant raglan sleeves, scalloped edges and texture that is enhanced by colour work. The pattern is discrete when you look at it straight on, but it comes to life when it is seen from different angles while you are wearing the pullover. It’s easy to knit given that it’s worked completely in knit and purl stitches.
The pullover is knitted in the round from the bottom up. Body and sleeves are worked as separate tubes from the lower edge to the armholes. Then the pieces are joined and knitted in a tapered tube. This makes reading the charts easier and there is only a small seam under the armhole to sew up after the knitting is complete. Waist and crew neck shaping are added for a tailored fit. Together with the raglan shaping this gives the sweater good structure and stability to always make it hang straight.
For your convenience, there are separate instructions in an attractive layout for each size (36, 38, 40, 42, 44 and 46). You may find my full descriptions easier to follow than the standard brief and cryptic ones.
The light knitted fabric in fingering weight wool will keep you comfortably warm. For women who desire elegance in daily life.
